Hey guys,

I was wondering, is there a huge difference between the XFX 512MB 8800GT and XFX 512MN 8800GT extreme edition??? I know that clock speeds and everything are higher because of overclocking but is there anything about this card which can't be acheived through overclocking the regular 8800GT?

I am looking at getting 2 8800GT's in SLI and the regular edition is $40 cheaper than the extreme so i can save $80... if I overclock the regular, would it be the exact same as the extrreme edition or is there something else I should know?

I will be using the XFX nforce 680i LT SLI motherboard which I believe supports the ntune facility to overclock the graphics cards so would I be better off getting the cheaper of the two and overclocking myself???

Thanks in advance
